Fixed Block Brushes
Fixed Block Brushes (Tufted) are a fixed brush that is mounted directly to a fully adjustable T shape steel frame that is then placed at the base of the handrail and uses friction of the fibres to clean built up dirt from the steps.
The most commonly used brush filaments in routine daily escalator cleaning are poly & nylon filaments where a more aggressive Tynex brushes are occasionally used for heavy-duty deep cleaning only.
Fixed Block Brushes (Tufted) are made by stapling tufts of filaments into pre-drilled blocks of plywood, hardwood, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, rubber or leather.
The doubled over tuft is secured with a staple at the base of the pre drilled hole. The brush filaments are then trimmed or cut to the required height at a separate trimming station, this type of brush offers the customer a wider range of individual brush design options from single tuft to complex multiple row brush designs.
